Give me the wings of faith to rise

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 521 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals Lyrics: 1 Give me the wings of faith to rise Within the veil, and see The saints above, how great their joys, How bright their glories be. 2 Once they were mourning here below, And wet their couch with tears; They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins and doubts and fears. 3 I ask them whence their victory came; They, with united breath, Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, Their triumph to his death. 4 They marked the footsteps that he trod, His zeal inspired their breast, And, following their incarnate God, Possess the promised rest. 5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise For his own pattern given, While the long cloud of witnesses Shows the same path to heaven.

Pleasant are Thy courts above

Appears in 248 hymnals Topics: The Church Her Ordinances and Offices; Festivals Lyrics: 1 Pleasant are Thy courts above, In the land of light and love; Pleasant are Thy courts below, In this land of sin and woe. O, my spirit longs and faints For the converse of Thy saints, For the brightness of Thy face, King of Glory, God of grace! 2 Happy birds that sing and fly Round Thy altars, O Most High! Happier souls, that find a rest, In a Heavenly Father's breast! Like the wandering dove, that found No repose on earth around, They can to their ark repair, And enjoy it ever there. 3 Happy souls! their praises flow, Ever in this vale of woe; Waters in the desert rise, Manna feeds them from the skies; On they go from strength to strength, Till they reach Thy throne at length; At Thy feet adoring fall, Who hast led them safe through all. 4 Lord, be mine this prize to win; Guide me through a world of sin, Keep me by Thy saving grace, Give me at Thy side a place; Sun and shield alike Thou art, Guide and guard my erring heart; Grace and glory flow from Thee, Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me. Amen. Used With Tune: MAIDSTONE

Thy hand, O God, has guided

Author: Edward Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: The Church Its Mission and Unity; Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Thy hand, O God, has guided Thy flock, from age to age; The wondrous tale is written, Full clear, on every page; Our fathers owned thy goodness, And we their deeds record; And both of this bear witness, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 2 Thy heralds brought glad tidings To greatest, as to least; They bade men rise, and hasten To share the great King's feast; And this was all their teaching, In every deed and word, To all alike proclaiming One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 3 Through many a day of darkness, Through many a scene of strife, The faithful few fought bravely To guard the nation's life. Their gospel of redemption, Sin pardoned, man restored, Was all in this enfolded, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 4 And we, shall we be faithless? Shall hearts fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade the conflict, And cast away our crown? Not so: in God's deep counsels Some better thing is stored; We will maintain, unflinching, One church, one Faith, one Lord. 5 Thy mercy will not fail us, Nor leave thy work undone; With thy right hand to help us, The victory shall be won; And then, by men and angels, Thy name shall be adored, And this shall be their anthem, One Church, one Faith, one Lord.

Behold a Host, Arrayed in White

Author: Hans Adolph Brorson Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Church Year Minor Festivals Lyrics: 1 Behold a host, arrayed in white, Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright, With palms they stand--Who are this band Before the throne of light? Lo, these are they, of glorious fame, Who from the great affliction came, And in the flood of Jesus' blood Are cleansed from guilt and blame; Now gathered in the holy place Their voices they in worship raise, Their anthems swell where God doth dwell 'Mid angels' songs of praise. 2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here, But now, how glorious they appear! These martyrs stand a priestly band, God's throne forever near. So oft, in troubled days gone by, In anguish they would weep and sigh; At home above, the God of Love The tears of all shall dry. They now enjoy their Sabbath rest, The paschal banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board Himself is host and guest. 3 Then hail, ye mighty legions, yea, All hail! Now safe and blest for aye; And praise the Lord, who with His Word Sustained you on the way. Ye did the joys of earth disdain, Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain; Farewell, now bring your sheaves, and sing Salvation’s glad refrain. Swing high your palms, lift up your song, Yea, make it myriad voices strong: Eternally shall praise to Thee, God, and the Lamb, belong! Amen.
